How Nutmegs Grow.

Nutmegs grow on little trees, which
look like small pear trees, and which
are generally not over 20 feet high
The flowers are very much like the
Lily of the Valley. They are pale
and very fragrant. The nutmeg is the
seed of the fruit, and mace is the thin
covering over the seed. The fruit il
about the size of a peach. When ripe
it breaks open and shows little nut
inside. The trees grow on the Islands
of Asia and tropical America. They
bear fruit 70 or 50 years, having ripe
fruit upon them all the seasons. A
fine tree in Jamaica has over 1000
nutmegs on il every year. The Dutch
used to have all the nutmeg trade, al
they owned the Banda Islands, and
conquered all the other traders and
destroyed the trees. To keep the
price up, they once burned three piles
of nutmegs, each Of which was said tc
be as big as a church." Nature did
not sympathize with such meanness
The nutmeg pigeons, found in all the
Indian Islands, did for the world wha,
Dutch had determined should not be
done-carried those nuts, which are
their food, into all the surrounding
countries; and trees grew again, and
the world had the benefit.

Historical Truth.

Our histories are wrong to always
record cold facts and the naked truth !;
it often tears down pet theories, up
sets preconceived and predjudiced
opinions, and spoils the greatness ard
heroic qualities of our mind heroes.
From reading some of our common
school histories, the mind is left to
wander in bewildering amazement, ard
a strange flatulency worms itself into
the whole being. To illustrate: Ac-
cording to the history of the affair,
Gen. R. L. Lee, only surrendered a lit
tie over 5000 men to Grant, but when
Grant started in to capture Richmond
he had an army of over 10000, and
called for 100000 more to aid him in
the mighty struggle about to take
place. Now we have been taught to
believe that General Grant was the
equal, if not the superior of Hannibal,
Caesar, Bonaparte, Alexander the
Great, Wellington and all the balance
of them. Such being the case, We ere
at loss to know how to ferret out the
question: what did Grant want with
so many men to capture that little
band of hungry, ragged rebels?" We
give it up. We confess to an Ameri-
can degree of gullibility, and readi-
ness to believe what everybody says is
SO, and to a disinclination to let any
thing obliterate the least spark Of glory
honor and military renown, from the
crown of our great Gen.; at the same
time the flights of the imagination in
magnifying our hero, are checked and
staggered by these cold facts and fig
ures of history. We therefore move,
that they be expunged from our his
torical school books.

Beecher and the Jews.

When .. S. Strauss, now Minister
to Turkey, was being urged for that Of
flee by his friends, Henry Ward Beech
er, a warm friend of Mr.. Strauss,
wrote the following letter. 1t is a pc
culiar letter. 1t tells more definitely
than any words other than its own can
describe the broad craftsmanship and
advanced position of Mr.. Beecher:
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Feb. II, 1887
Grover Cleveland-Dear Mr.. President: !:
Our best citizens are solicitous for the
appointment of Oscar Strauss as Min
lister of Turkey. OF his fitness there
is general consent that he is person
ally, and in attainments, eminently ex-
cellent. But am interested in anoth-
er quality-the fact that he is He
brew. The bitter prejudice against
Jews which obtains in may parts Of
Europe ought not to receive any cOun-
tenance in America. 1t is because he
is Jew that would urge this ap-
pointment as fit recognition of this
remarkable people, who are becoming
large contributors to American pros
perity, and whose intelligence, moral
ity, and large liberality in all public
measures fo the welfare of society de-
serve and should receive from the
hands OF our Government some such
recognition. Is it not also a duty to
set forth in this quiet but effectual
method, the genius of American Gov
ernment, which has under its fostering
care people Of all civilized nations,
and which treats them without regard
to civil, religious or race pecuharities
as common citizens? We send Danes
to Denmark. Germans to Germany;
we reject no man because he is a
Frenchman. Why should we not
make crowning testimony to the
genius of our people by sending He
brew to Turkey? The ignorance and
superstitious of medieval Europe may
account for the prejudices of that dark
age. But how Christian in our day
can turn from Jew, can not imag-
inc. Christianity itself sucked at the
bosom of Judaism; our roots are in
the Old Testament. We are Jews our
selves, gone to blossom and fruit
Christianity is Judaism in evolution,
and it would seem strange for the seed
to turn against the stalk ON which it
was grown.

A STORY THAT HIS SPIRIT REVISITED
HIS OLD SCHOOL.
fCincinnati Enuuirer.1

AiAo VIII SChOOLs
(Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Much excitement exists at the Vir-
ginia Military Institute and through
out this place over an inexplicable
penomenon. On the night of January
29th, shortly after IL o'clock, as the
sentinel was walking his beat, his at
tention was attracted through the
sally-port to the front of the barracks
by slight sound resembling the rus.
ing of leaves. Instantly between the
two large forty-six-pound siege guns
there appeared a soldier dressed in a
confederate uniform and mounted on
large gray horse. His sword was
drawn, his horse tightly reined up
and two white plumes tioated above
his head. The sentinel, at first almost
paralyzed with .terror, had gazed upon
the object but an instant when the
horse was started through the sally
port into the court yard at a round
trot, crossing the sentinePs beat, max
ing no audible sound, although he was
passing over solid brick pavement
The sentinel challenged, with loud
voice, Who goes there?" The rider
did not heed the challenge, but passed
ON at the same pace until, arriving at
an abrupt, dangerous and impossible
precipice in rear of the barracks, he
vanished. The sentinel promptly
called his corporal, who informed the
lieutenant of the guard and the officer
of the day.
The guard was Immediately turned
out, and though close and minute
search was instituted no trace of horse
or rider could be found. On the next
night similar phenomenon was wit
messed by party of cadets and citi-
zens. This time a sentinel was sta
toned in the center of the sally port
to await the temperance of the horse
and rider. At the same time as on
the night before, preceded by the same
sound, the horse and rider appeared
and started through the sally port at a
great pace. Tho sentinel commanded
" Halt! Who goes there?" The
horse approached nearer and nearer to
the sentinel, until within two feet OF
the point of tbe, bayonet, and vanished
only to reappear just in the rear of the
sentinel; then he passed on in the di-
rection he had taken the preceding
night, again disappearing at the edge
of the precipice. An old veteran pre-
sent recognized the form of the rider
to be none other than that of General
Stonewall Jackson. So far no explain
alton can be given.

HIS ONE HIGH HAT.
The Only Occasion on Which Henry Ward

The Only Occasion on Which Henry Ward
Beecher Wore Silk Tile.
Major Pond attention was called to the
statement which has been published, and
which has been received with general
credence, that Mr.. Beecher never wore a
silk hat. Mr.. Beecher's manager smiled
and then, according to the New York
Tribune quickly exclaimed; "Only once.
I must tell you about that. It was at Mr..
Beecheris house one afternoon, and we
were to leave the house at four O'Clock in
order to catch a train. Mr.. Beecher, &C
cording to his custom on an afternoon,
had laid down for nap. 1 was in the
library, when, as the hour approached,
Mrs. Beecher called my attention to the
fact and asked where Mr.. Beecher was
went up to call him, but he was not in
his room. I went down stairs and
thought I would get my hat,
which was silk one I
could not find it where I had left it, in the
hallway. Just then Mrs. Beecher called
my attention to the front of the house.
Mr.. Beecher had a cardigan jacket which
he used to wear around the house at
times, and you can imagine that it was not
particularly becoming to his form. l went
to where Mrs. Beecher stood and looked
out. There in the middle of the street,
with a lot of children around him, was
Mr. Beecher in his cardigan, my silk hat
o., his head, and stick in his mouth with
strings attached as children make bits,
and he was prancing up and down and
back and forth and playing horse with the
youngsters. You would have died
laughing seeing that sight. Henry, ex-
claimed Mrs. Beecher what on earth are
you doing9 Do you know what sight you
area You will lose the train
''Mr. Beecher stopped, drew out his
watch-he always carried a tirst-class
timekeeper-and replying as he put it
back, No, won't; I've got two minutes
yet,' off he galloped with the children at
his heels in high glee. He used up the
two minutes and we just caught the fer
ryboat in time. Many time have we
barely caught the last boat; but Mr..
Beecher's watch was as true as steel and
he always calculated apparently to the
second When he got on the ferryboat he
never stopped until he landed in the
pilot-housc. He had the key to them and
every pilot knew him, and there he would
go and stay until the boat got to her land
